Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI…and yet these people just won’t leave them well enough alone.

    It sucks, yes. But a platform having massive amount of AI-free human created arts, and advertised so, is prime target for scraping. It might actually help the scrapers even.

    Unlike many portfolio websites and image sharing platforms, we automatically implement “NoAI” tags on Cara by default to protect images uploaded to the platform. These tags are intended to tell AI scrapers not to scrape from Cara.

    Cute of them to think unethical scrapers gonna comply if they ask nicely “dont scwape pwease” The “glaze” or whatever poison they use will get beaten with enough time and training material.

    Surely they (cara) have good intentions, but I see this as simply offering an option to artists to instead of getting f* by both scrapers and the platform they are on, the artist can get f* only by scrapers here.

      These sites need to find a way to make it easy for bots to scrape a bunch of AI slop images while humans only see human made content.
